SOLAR WATCH * Huge X8.2 Flare Sept. 10, 2017! (Updated Daily)

Hi Mia ~

Here is info on uploading picz.

Thread: GLPFAQ How do I post pictures in a thread?

I've never seen the GOES electron flux go that far STRAIGHT down (gold line):

thanks TT, I did now what?

Bz is still floored eh? The storm continues!

Yes, Madajs, even tho' I foresaw this it took me by surprise. I think we're seeing a co-rotational interaction region and the first gusts from the coronal hole. More like storm Phase II, haha. I hope TS66 and NINzrez are out watching the Northern Lights and the Draconid meteors tonight.

hope did right...eeccckkk

anyway is that a normal look...first time I saw it do that?

doesn't look as good in that picture...I took another and it rolled through like a wave

Thanks for that info,and I see what you mean,we could have an enveloping energy bombardment.

Did 1569 and 1574 interact last time around?

scroll down for old numbers.

The NOAA K-6 just got confirmed for the 0000-0300 period. Interested to see what Potsdam's reading will be for this slot.

Can't wait will November 7th, no more political ads, phone called, and robo calls!!!

Cloudy with rain :( .... as usual.

Space Weather Message Code: ALTK06
Serial Number: 297
Issue Time: 2012 Oct 09 0111 UTC

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 6
Threshold Reached: 2012 Oct 09 0111 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0000-0300 UTC
Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G2 - Moderate
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.
Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.

Good night all, can't wait to climb into my own cozy bed .... get good rest

Good Job you did it!

D rap got colorful quickly,starting to rain protons

Interesting geomagnetism spike....in Alaska. This is a very interesting real time goeomagnetism chart for those wanting to see fluctuations around the country

this is a good post

Thread: The Day the Sun Changed

Any chance the aurora will make it to northern California tonight?

Significant earthquake precursor signal detected on 10/08/12 at 0225utc/2225est. Possible 6+.

Radio Direction Finder has signal coming in East of France from somewhere out in the Northern, Mid to Southern portions of the Pacific plate to Alaska, Canada and Chile.


All who live anywhere in the vicinity of this line trajectory should be wary next 5 hours. Have escape plan ready and seek open terrain in the event of felt tremor. Secure most of your heavy objects and belongings around your home.


Namaste,

Hopefully I am wrong. Or it hits an unpopulated area.
Japan is also a likely target. Be wary.

Thanks for post, Mia, I wish I had an answer for you. I've only seen that site a couple of times and usually a meteor leaves a much bigger signature. I'm not sure exactly where they are scanning in the sky (is it one state, the Northern Hemisphere, the whole globe, or just one patch of sky?). Perhaps they have a webmaster or contact email you could ask. That could be raindrops or incoming ICBMs for all I know, LOL. I hope someone has more info.

It's doubtful, Geomagnetic Storm, I mean "Marketselloff", but there might be a chance of a flare-up or sub-storm. Here's the Yellowknife all-sky aurora-cam:

I wish you the best of luck!

Bz cruising at -16,everythings coming in

Nice energetic CME off the East limb again from the LDE C-flare I guess.

:SE C-flare:

Those pics are awesome! Lets hope it doesn't die out earthside. Hugh I've noticed we're seeing more flares erupting at the east edge, whereas weeks ago they were flaring hard western edge to direct mid farside. Maybe they're shifting to a more eastern then eventually earthside destination?

Kp 7- with 12 of 13 observatories reporting

Nice work M!

I think it's pretty random, whenever the forces are present in sufficient quantities it erupts. Similar to the Heisenberg principal, the act of observing affects our perception of events. The Earth, Sun and the entire Universe is in motion, so our designations of east, west, up, and down are purely subjective and arbitrary. Remember the human brain is wired to perceive patterns even where none exist.

I do however keep the door open to Divine (or supernatural, if you prefer) Intervention.

Latest CME-

:10/09CME:

Yellowknife a bit cloudy, but some aurora are lighting up the clouds:

The uncertainty principle is my favorite, but supernatural results should be expected,considering what we're experiencing falls under that register. Thanks Hugh, and appreciate your conceptual diligence , its needed. You are a great asset to this thread and the common sense line to the many abstract. We all thrive as a diverse unit and I welcome your posts!

Before I go nite-nite, I meant to post this earlier, but got sidetracked by all of the sudden excitement. Y'know the continuing geomagnetic storm (still K=6 last I checked), the CMEs, flares and auroras....we haven't had this much going on w/the sun for weeks. Anyway,...

The Moon's Magnetic Umbrellas

Lunar watchers have been crying over spilt milk for decades. But now the mystery of milky splotches on the moon's surface might finally be solved: sections of soil are being protected by weak but effective magnetic bubbles.

The work could help spaceship builders devise magnetic shielding to protect astronauts on future missions from harmful radiation.

Unlike Earth, the moon has no global magnetic field to shield it from the solar wind – the constant flow of charged particles from the sun. These particles interact with lunar soil, darkening it over thousands of years.

Goodnight and Peace to All.
